Eric - can TCN be printed on regular B and W photo paper or only on Color 
paper ?  The reason I ask is that I think my standard chromogenic BW film 
XP-2 which CAN be printed on BW paper is not as impressive as what I see 
for TCN and I'd switch if I knew I could still go into the wet darkroom and 
make images.

ernie - yes I know I could just go to the Kodak site but I'm lazy - nitka
